I guess a proper crash report will never appear. From th position of the bike, marks of the road etc one should be able t calculate direction speed of impact tc etc... All we have is the word of rg driver who says he wasn't looking.

I must admit that I thought the dissolving of the party and dismissal of the PM would have made a coup unnecessary, but now I would say the opposite is the case.

I'm sorry but as an honest question, the best I can suggest is you familiarise yourself with Thailand's politics - if I gave you an explanation it would most likely be removed by ASEAN NOW to avoid further action by the authorities.You need to understand that most of the comments on this site on Thai politics are going to be very cryptic. the only way to understand that is by reading up yourself. THis can be difficult in THailand as many books, articles t are unavailable.

Military are not going to be happy.

If ignorance is bliss, you must be the happiest person alive.

You seem totally unaware of how banal your comments are.

THe classic response of someone with no idea.... but it does make a point. Its not my job to educate you, You desperately need to educate yourself and get up to speed on Thai politics. Ay present you are covering up your ignorance with a dose of cynicism

You don't appear to understand the role of the military in this.

the new news is the announcement of flight service cancellations from October onwards

THat's got nothing to do with why he was dismissed!

lots of foreigners i. Thailand are paid in baht - how will this help them?

Coupled with the dissolving of the Move Forward opposition party this is tantamount to a coup. Do you think it will be followed by a backtracking on the liberalised visa rules?

how would you know? you know nothing! can't even back up your propostterous comments with any reason or evidence just prejudice and bigotry and insults to Thai people.

Strettha has been dismissed - he was one of the motivating forces behind the massive increase in Tourist numbers - and the new visa free liberalisations - so it remains to be seen where we go from here - either way you'll be left behind as ever because you haven't a clue what's going on.

Can we relax, the military are waiting in the wings to form an "interim" government?

Can you support this with some evidence? Of course not! THe war in Ukraine is going to have increase effect for western tourists. As of October BA is stopping several flights to the "far east" - as they can no longer fly the direct routes many are now not vialbe.In future flights to s,e, Asia from Europe are going to get longer and be more expensive.

Can you support this with some evidence? Of course not!

Yes there was an d you like so many don't understand the word "evidence' - you are obviously a member of the 'if-i-can't-see-it-it-isn;t-there" brigade - or head in the sand school of thought.

Read the OP - which apparently you never bothered to do I was hoping to get information of some well-informed educated expats especially someone in Pattaya but.... - You really haven't got a clue, have you? I wanted proper evidence - you failed to do that every step of the way - you're like someone who bets and wins on the Grand National and then claims to be an expert on horses!!

It seems Direct ferries are advertising something that doesn't exist. THis statement from Boonsiri Feries. "Greetings from Boonsiri High Speed Ferries Co. Ltd.! Pattaya to koh chang is by bus and boat Boat depart at Ao tammachat pier to Ao sapparot pier"THis raises concerns about Direct ferries who are advertising something that apparently doesn't exist - so let's hope nobody sheds out any money to them....for any services.

THis is not a mugging, though, is it? THey were tallkoing about 'money" it looks like the Thai person thpought he was owed money by the Brit. I think there could be a back story here that leads up to the fight.

Don't see that says anything? If you are referring to boat/bus - this has been running for decades - the service on direct ferries infers a sea only journey - admittedly it's contentious, but telling us about another service doesn't negate the existance of the one in the OP.

Ferry from Pattaya to Koh Chang You need to check the web site..... On average there are 6 weekly sailings between Pattaya to Koh Chang. This ferry route is operated by Boonsiri High Speed Ferries. Pattaya Koh Chang ferries cost between £41 and £149, depending on ticket details. Prices exclude any service fees. Ferry timetables change seasonally use our Deal Finder to get live pricing and availability for Pattaya Koh Chang ferries.

I don't think you appreciate how to analyse the quality of the information. Who says it doesn't exist?

We seem to be getting off topic - the topic is about the existence (or not) of a new ferry service to Koh Chang.
